We continue to have problems mounting our raw data drives (which we fill down at Arecibo and drain up here). The symptoms are random, the error messages are random, and where these messages actually appear is random. Jeff and I are pretty much giving up trying to figure it out. We'll most likely remove as many moving parts from the whole system and deal with continuing issues as they arise. Not sure who/what to blame. Linux? SATA? USB? The enclosures? The cables? The drives themselves?

I actually got the software radar blanker working. Whether or not the output it generates is worth anything remains to be seen, but at first glance it looks pretty good. The proof is when I run this on a whole file and make some workunits, and then see if these workunits explode.

This just after sucessfully getting a block of 20 WU's for the same computer (which is running version 5.10.45...) Did something change on Berkeley's end, 'cause nothing changed on mine!

[add]Each time I got these messages, I also got "communication deffered" for 24 hrs, BTW [/add]

Maybe that's why I haven't gotten any new work in about a week. Or, it could be BOINC itself doing it. I'm on multiple projects, and when I get work units from one, I get nothing from anyone else unless I suspend that particular project.

since about 15:00 hrs utc friday the gigabit net graphs show that the connection is running at maximum rate.
Ime getting connection timeouts,
everything seems to be working,
its just got an lot of work to do.

My post may or may not be related to this thread. Don't know. All I know is that for one whole week now my computer has suspended all work on BOINC. All computation and all upload. I have an astropulse ready to upload and for some reason the computer has suspended it. I cannot unsuspend it. Oh, and I promise you - I have done nothing in that week, barely used the computer infact. Why would it be doing this ? I cannot unsuspend it, upload the completed file or get new ones ?????
